FlatOut walked so Wreckfest could run. Great soundtrack, it’s satisfying to hit other cars, and the demolition derby mode is fun. There’s also a minigame focused on launching your driver out the windshield, but I didn’t really touch it because it was tough to beat the AI’s scores.

I only have two issues, one of which is the physics. Cars are very sensitive to elevation changes and junk in the streets(which there is a lot of after the first lap). If you run over anything, there’s a 50-50 chance your car will flip over and/or lose control. Which is problematic because of my second complaint…

The AI. I didn’t notice it until I was at the end of Career mode with fast cars, but rubberbanding became brutal. Even if your racing was on point, sometimes the AI will barrel right through you, going so fast they can’t even stay straight on a straightaway. The rubberbanding is very obvious on some tracks.
